SOLDERING SALE! Save up to 40%

We hope your new year is off to a good start! Who has set a resolution to learn a new technique or take your jewelry making to the next level? We have heard from a lot of people who have set this goal for themselves and we want to help.

Soldering is a jewelry making technique that seems just out of reach for a lot of people. It requires new tools and materials and you're literally playing with fire. We want to make soldering more accessible to people because it can really kick your designs up a notch, not to mention it's really fun!

So what is soldering?

Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal(solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. [Source]

Soldering is used to seal jump rings, create bezels around stones, make your own chain, and embellish any piece of metal. Beaducation is your one-stop shop for all things soldering -- including lessons on how to do it! We offer a selection of butane torches, sheet metal and blanks for soldering to, small solderable accents for embellishing your work, and the solder itself.

Now is a great time to get started soldering because we have put all of the tools and materials you need on sale! Save up to 40% on almost 100 items, including torches, paste, solder picks, and the safety goggles! We have put together a Soldering Starter Kit that is a great value, and it is an additional 10% off through January 27.
